degrees. A bit of cloud and the risk of a few showers. That's all from

:00:00.:00:00.

the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join

:00:00.:00:00.

the BBC's news teams where you are. Tonight on BBC London news: The

:00:00.:00:21.

government virus to speed the deportation of terror suspects. Also

:00:22.:00:29.

tonight, the woman dying of cervical cancer sues the hospital for failing

:00:30.:00:33.

to spot she is at risk. It is hard to think about a simple mistake

:00:34.:00:37.

leading to such a devastating effect on my life. Plus, the major study of

:00:38.:00:42.

London school pupils to find out if mobile phones damage a child's

:00:43.:00:51.

mental development. And, this: We didn't know what we were in for, the

:00:52.:00:57.

sheer scale of it. We are with the war veterans commemorating the 70th

:00:58.:00:58.

anniversary of D`day. Good evening. He was one of London's

:00:59.:01:10.

most controversial figures for almost 20 years, spreading racial

:01:11.:01:13.

hatred and a brand of Islamic extremism from Finsbury Park Mosque

:01:14.:01:19.

in north London. Now Abu Hamza is facing a possible life sentence

:01:20.:01:22.

after being found guilty by a court in New York of supporting terrorism.

:01:23.:01:26.

Today questions have been raised as to why the UK government wasn't able

:01:27.:01:29.

to prosecute the radical cleric for his part in a kidnapping which saw

:01:30.:01:35.

three Britons killed. This report from our home affairs correspondent,

:01:36.:01:43.

Guy Smith. This was supposed to be a place for

:01:44.:01:48.

quiet contemplation, but during the 1990s, the dominant figure of Abu

:01:49.:01:52.

Hamza turns the Finsbury Park mosque into a centre of political

:01:53.:01:54.

extremism, preaching hate and intolerance. Although eventually

:01:55.:02:02.

kicked out, his sermons on the street attracted more notoriety. He

:02:03.:02:14.

was not a qualified imam. He was a former bouncer at a strip club, who

:02:15.:02:20.

found religion and identified himself as a form of Sheikh. Abu

:02:21.:02:27.

Hamza was convicted of 11 offences in the US, among them helping to

:02:28.:02:32.

organise hostagetaking in the Yemen, in which four tourists were

:02:33.:02:37.

killed. Asked why the British justice system didn't prosecute in

:02:38.:02:39.

rather than the US, this was the answer from Government: The key

:02:40.:02:44.

thing is that Abu Hamza has faced justice and is likely to be behind

:02:45.:02:49.

bars for many years. The Crown Prosecution Service, which is

:02:50.:02:51.

independent of Government, takes decision in terms of the evidence

:02:52.:02:57.

before it, and he was convicted of offences in this country and

:02:58.:03:01.

sentenced to seven years in prison. Mohammed Karrar is bar is chairman

:03:02.:03:08.

of trustees at the mosque. How damaging is Abu Hamza to the image

:03:09.:03:18.

of Islam in Britain? It has been a tough year for the Muslim community

:03:19.:03:22.

to deal with. It wasn't fair on the Muslim community to be in that

:03:23.:03:28.

position during that period. Clashes between communities, far right

:03:29.:03:34.

extremists coming here to protest in front of the mosque. Dees mix of

:03:35.:03:40.

security services failed to take Abu Hamza seriously? `` do you think the

:03:41.:03:46.

security services? Things could have been done better in the way of

:03:47.:03:50.

bringing communities together, taking away the hatred from

:03:51.:03:57.

communities. This is Abu Hamza in 2002 talking to BBC London. What is

:03:58.:04:04.

going to stop you preaching? Build me a grave. You are not going to

:04:05.:04:12.

stop? No. But he has been stopped, and faces a long time in a US jail.

:04:13.:04:17.

Today, the mosque is a very different place. Much has changed.

:04:18.:04:22.

Its managers say it is now what it is supposed to be, a centre for

:04:23.:04:25.

tolerance and understanding within the community.

:04:26.:04:29.

Joining me now is the BBC's security correspondent, Frank Gardner. The

:04:30.:04:31.

Prime Minister said today he wanted to see speedier deportations of

:04:32.:04:34.

people like Abu Hamza who pose a security risk. Is this realistic,

:04:35.:04:43.

and how many are there out there? I think this is going to be a battle

:04:44.:04:48.

for the Home Office to fight with European legislation. I have already

:04:49.:04:52.

fought it over Abu Qatada and others. But the issue here is why he

:04:53.:04:58.

wasn't prosecuted for his role in the Yemen kidnapping, because that

:04:59.:05:02.

is the main case in America that has been brought against him, and that

:05:03.:05:05.

is why they have thrown the book acting, because they have implicated

:05:06.:05:10.

him in the kidnapping of 16 Western tourists. I put it to the Crown

:05:11.:05:15.

Prosecution Service, why didn't you prosecute him? They said, we tried

:05:16.:05:21.

twice, working with senior officers from the police, and we couldn't get

:05:22.:05:25.

enough evidence for the case. They think there was some evidence used

:05:26.:05:29.

in the US court that would not have been admissible in a British court,

:05:30.:05:34.

and they won't say what that is. There was a satellite phone provided

:05:35.:05:37.

by Abu Hamza to the kidnappers, and it turned out he was talking to the

:05:38.:05:43.

kidnappers just ahead of the shoot out where four tourists died. We

:05:44.:05:47.

heard in the report that given the presence that he had in London, at

:05:48.:05:52.

Finsbury Park mosque, what is your assessment of how damaging he has

:05:53.:05:55.

been to the reputation of Islam in the UK? He was incredibly damaging,

:05:56.:06:01.

but I think that we the media bear some of the risk stability, because

:06:02.:06:05.

we kept interviewing him and he did not represent an does not represent

:06:06.:06:14.

mainstream Islam. He is no more representative of some Muslims as a

:06:15.:06:23.

bigot who burns the Koran in the United States is representative of

:06:24.:06:29.

Christianity. He is an expanse, he has one eye and a hook for a hand.

:06:30.:06:34.

He is almost a comic book villain, which is embarrassing for a lot of

:06:35.:06:38.

people. He also didn't have much Islamic redemptions. Abu Qatada did,

:06:39.:06:44.

and remains deeply respected by Islamic scholars, despite his views.

:06:45.:06:50.

Abu Hamza was self styled. Frank Gardner, thank you. Lots more

:06:51.:06:54.

to come, including: After the Camden Market fire, stallholders are left

:06:55.:06:55.

counting the cost of the damage. A 29`year`old woman who's dying from

:06:56.:07:08.

cancer after a London hospital missed abnormalities in a routine

:07:09.:07:12.

smear test is suing them. Fay Harryman has described the mistakes

:07:13.:07:15.

in her care as appalling, and said she would have had a future to look

:07:16.:07:19.

forward to had staff done their job properly. Lewsiham University

:07:20.:07:26.

Hospital accepted liability and apologised. Simon Jones reports.

:07:27.:07:33.

She knows that treatment for cancer will only prolong her life, not cure

:07:34.:07:39.

her, after a hospital error. The failure to spot the signs is

:07:40.:07:43.

devastating. I change between being angry and emotional, and it is just

:07:44.:07:49.

hard to kind of think about a simple mistake, really, that has led to

:07:50.:07:53.

such a devastating effect on my life. So it is quite angry, really.

:07:54.:08:06.

Fay Harryman had a smear test in April 2009 which was said to show no

:08:07.:08:11.

abnormalities, but she went on to suffer bleeding, and in 2010 a

:08:12.:08:21.

tumour was discovered. She received appalling treatment from the NHS.

:08:22.:08:25.

She put her trust and the doctors there, no reason to think that the

:08:26.:08:29.

smear would be anything other than properly reported. As it turned out,

:08:30.:08:34.

it wasn't until a further 18 months that she found out that an awful

:08:35.:08:40.

mistake he made, and she has to live with the consequences of that.

:08:41.:08:45.

Lewisham and granite NHS Trust says it was extremely sorry for the

:08:46.:08:48.

failure to detect abnormal cells, even though its processes met

:08:49.:08:56.

national guidelines. Experts say it is vital that women can trust smear

:08:57.:09:01.

tests. About 2900 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every

:09:02.:09:07.

year. Many cases are prevented, around 5000 cases a year. Stuff

:09:08.:09:16.

needs to be done within the NHS. The organisation is amazing, it is

:09:17.:09:19.

prolonging my life, and yet it has also taken it away with the other

:09:20.:09:25.

hand. The trust had not admitted its failings contributed to the cancer

:09:26.:09:29.

returning. Fay Harryman is now seeking a legal settlement.

:09:30.:09:32.

UKIP supporters have clashed with protesters at a street rally in

:09:33.:09:37.

Croydon. It happened after a group of Romanians confronted UKIP party

:09:38.:09:39.

members about Nigel Farage's remarks last week about Romanian neighbours.

:09:40.:09:44.

Alex Bushill is in Croydon High Street with more details. Hopefully

:09:45.:09:56.

a! Lets see if we can get Alex at the moment. I'm afraid we can't get

:09:57.:10:01.

Alex at the moment, but let me give you a quick note here that there is

:10:02.:10:17.

a full list of candidates standing in the election. They include the

:10:18.:10:28.

Animal Welfare Party, which wants to change the way EU subsidies are used

:10:29.:10:31.

and promote healthy, vegetarian lifestyles across Europe. Our key

:10:32.:10:40.

policy is to redirect EU subsidies, currently totalling around 50

:10:41.:10:43.

billion euros per year away from livestock and fisheries farming and

:10:44.:10:47.

into plant `based agriculture. We say that is better for human health,

:10:48.:10:51.

better for the health of the environment and better for animal

:10:52.:10:56.

welfare. The English Democrats are campaigning for any dish

:10:57.:10:58.

parliament, because Scotland, Ireland and Wales have their own

:10:59.:11:02.

assemblies, their own first Minister, and they come to our

:11:03.:11:05.

Parliament and sit and decide on English matters, but we'd don't.

:11:06.:11:10.

That is one of the reasons why we are campaigning for an English

:11:11.:11:13.

Parliament. We can now go back to Alex Bushill in Croydon, where UKIP

:11:14.:11:20.

supporters have clashed with protesters. This was billed as a

:11:21.:11:28.

carnival. It descended into acrimony. It is organised by Winston

:11:29.:11:36.

McKenzie, a well`known local black politician and former boxer, saying

:11:37.:11:40.

it was an attempt to prove UKIP was not a racist party. Around a dozen

:11:41.:11:45.

protesters turned up shouting abuse and waving banners. They said UKIP

:11:46.:11:51.

is the mother not see party and are cyst. They said they were

:11:52.:11:57.

Romanians, a reference to Nigel Farage's comments that he would be

:11:58.:12:03.

uncomfortable if Romanians moved in next door to him. Soon a steel band

:12:04.:12:09.

packed up and left, saying they didn't know that they were

:12:10.:12:11.

performing for UKIP and they were embarrassed to do so. No arrests

:12:12.:12:17.

were made, it was non`violent but it was heated. As for Nigel Farage, who

:12:18.:12:25.

we expected to be turning up here, you never showed up, probably just

:12:26.:12:29.

as well for him and his party, given what unfolded here in Croydon.

:12:30.:12:37.

Alex, thank you. I will mention it again, there is a full list of

:12:38.:12:41.

candidates standing for election in Croydon at the council's website.

:12:42.:12:44.

Stallholders are concerned about the impact a fire in a market in Camden

:12:45.:12:47.

has had on their businesses. Hundreds of people had to be

:12:48.:12:50.

evacuated from the area following the blaze yesterday evening. Traders

:12:51.:12:54.

are uncertain when they'll be able to return to the part of Stables

:12:55.:12:58.

Market that's been damaged by the fire. Gareth Furby spent the day

:12:59.:13:05.

with them. Camden market yesterday evening.

:13:06.:13:08.

Above the blaze is wrong runway line, and a goods train passes over

:13:09.:13:15.

unharmed. But the stalls in the stables have been damaged. And for

:13:16.:13:20.

the hundreds evacuated and watching at the time, it seemed as though the

:13:21.:13:27.

whole market could go. I went to see if I could do something, went with a

:13:28.:13:32.

fire extinguisher. Someone told me there is a shop on fire. But I

:13:33.:13:36.

couldn't do nothing. It was such bad smoke. Mahmoud feared that his stall

:13:37.:13:44.

had been damaged or destroyed. He filmed the early stages of the fire

:13:45.:13:49.

from close by his mobile phone. I was panicking, I didn't know what

:13:50.:13:55.

the state of my shop would be like. But security have told me my shop is

:13:56.:14:01.

safe this afternoon as most of the market reopened, the damage could be

:14:02.:14:05.

seen. Confined to perhaps ten stalls thanks to the fire brigade's

:14:06.:14:10.

actions. The Fire Brigade did well to bring it under control so

:14:11.:14:13.

quickly, because as you can see it is quite a tight unit. The crews did

:14:14.:14:22.

work terribly hard. But last night, Terry King's book and big to stall

:14:23.:14:26.

wasn't damaged, even though it is close to the scene. And he thinks

:14:27.:14:31.

the risk is just part of the market's charm. And a thing that

:14:32.:14:36.

comes into the market is combustible. You can't help that. It

:14:37.:14:41.

is the nature of the market. Is there anything that can be done? No.

:14:42.:14:50.

It is just a risk that has to be taken? Stallholders will only know

:14:51.:14:56.

how much they have lost when the seniors opened, and some say they

:14:57.:15:00.

are not insured. Still to come tonight: A rare and

:15:01.:15:04.

extraordinary scientific find ` the perfectly preserved baby mammoth

:15:05.:15:06.

going on display at the Natural History Museum.

:15:07.:15:16.

Next, a question every parent would like answered: do mobile phones and

:15:17.:15:22.

other wireless devices affect a child's mental development? That's

:15:23.:15:26.

what a major study by researchers at Imperial College aims to find out.

:15:27.:15:29.

It will track 11` and 12`year`olds at 160 secondary schools in the

:15:30.:15:32.

capital from September. Nick Beake has the story.

:15:33.:15:38.

As technology powers forward, children have a world of opportunity

:15:39.:15:43.

at their fingertips. But still very little is known about the health

:15:44.:15:46.

risks of mobiles and other wireless devices. I was 12 when I got my

:15:47.:15:52.

first mobile phone. I was 12. I was 11. I was eight. I was ten. I was

:15:53.:15:56.

six. At this school in north London, mobiles are normally banned but

:15:57.:15:59.

pupils here will be among those tracked for three years, from year

:16:00.:16:05.

seven to year nine. It the government and industry funded

:16:06.:16:08.

project to work out the effect phones have on their thinking

:16:09.:16:15.

skills, memory and attention. There is very much a dearth of information

:16:16.:16:18.

on children's use of mobile phones, whether or not there might be any

:16:19.:16:25.

harmful effects. And therefore it's absolutely essential that the study

:16:26.:16:28.

is conducted and we are able to address the gaps in our knowledge.

:16:29.:16:34.

So do these people think mobiles are helping or hindering? If you need

:16:35.:16:39.

help with your homework you can go on the internet. Sometimes it is a

:16:40.:16:43.

bad thing because people get addicted to it, they block out the

:16:44.:16:47.

real world and what you are meant to do. There's more social media now,

:16:48.:16:50.

BBM, WhatsApp and Twitter, I can get it all on my phone. I use it more,

:16:51.:16:54.

my relationship with my phone, it's there with the all the time. I use

:16:55.:17:00.

it every day, it's my life in a little device really. I'd use my

:17:01.:17:05.

phone less if it was proven to be dangerous. The pupils from this

:17:06.:17:09.

school have already been signed up to this study, but now scientists

:17:10.:17:12.

are voting to 160 schools across London. They hope to recruit 2500

:17:13.:17:19.

children in all. We know the growth in the use of mobile phones is

:17:20.:17:23.

huge. So it is important that we understand what effect it could be

:17:24.:17:26.

having on their brain and brain development. So far, research has

:17:27.:17:31.

found no risk of brain cancer in adults, but some believe children's

:17:32.:17:34.

brains are more susceptible because they are still developing. We will

:17:35.:17:37.

have to wait until at least 2017 to find out all the effect this study

:17:38.:17:39.

uncovers. Veterans who served on HMS Belfast

:17:40.:17:55.

during the second world war have been commemorating the 70th

:17:56.:17:58.

anniversary of the D Day landings. Prime Minister David Cameron

:17:59.:18:01.

attended the memorial and paid tribute by telling them that the

:18:02.:18:04.

country will "always be proud" of them. We can join Katharine

:18:05.:18:15.

Carpenter, who's on River Thames. On a lovely, calm evening like this on

:18:16.:18:18.

the Thames, it's hard to imagine that this ship was ever in the cut

:18:19.:18:23.

and thrust of war. But HMS Belfast really was in the thick of it on

:18:24.:18:28.

D`day. At 5:27am, she fired some of the very first shots on German

:18:29.:18:32.

positions. Then she continued to offer fire cover, so that thousands

:18:33.:18:37.

of servicemen could make it onto the beaches. She remained in position

:18:38.:18:43.

for 33 days. Today, some 40 veterans who were there on D`day came on

:18:44.:18:57.

board. Older, of course, but still comrades, bound together by their

:18:58.:19:01.

shared experiences. The noise factor is so loud. From this ship, the

:19:02.:19:05.

Belfast, it will be firing its guns, you'd have a larger ship, a big

:19:06.:19:09.

battleship. All of them bombarding the beach.

:19:10.:19:14.

I can remember the landing craft were in line abreast, coming past a

:19:15.:19:18.

line of battleships and then cruisers, when we passed this boat

:19:19.:19:21.

that was giving us covering fire on the beach. Manning one of the guns

:19:22.:19:33.

on board was John Sears, from Newham. You had to watch your

:19:34.:19:38.

fingers in the breach, otherwise it took your fingers. During her five

:19:39.:19:41.

weeks supporting the Normandy landings, HMS Belfast fired over

:19:42.:19:48.

5000 shells. It was a question of us or them. I'd been waiting for this

:19:49.:19:52.

for what they'd done to my dear city, the old London. I was ready, I

:19:53.:19:58.

was up for it. It was that spirit which drew the admiration of the

:19:59.:20:01.

Prime Minister today. You are the heroes that I read about in history

:20:02.:20:06.

books at school. As a boy, I learned the names of those beaches. I was

:20:07.:20:09.

taught about this glorious chapter in our history. And now I'm a

:20:10.:20:15.

father, I want to make sure that my children learn the same things. That

:20:16.:20:20.

a aim is shared by those behind today's event, keen to remind the

:20:21.:20:23.

capital that one of its most famous landmarks helped fight for its

:20:24.:20:26.

freedoms, too, and came through almost unscathed. The only damage to

:20:27.:20:32.

the ship was the toilets were cracked by the vibration of the

:20:33.:20:35.

artillery fire from the naval guns. Fortunately, it suffered a few near

:20:36.:20:38.

misses from German batteries on the coastline with shells firing into

:20:39.:20:41.

the water about 50 yards away, but luckily it wasn't hit by direct

:20:42.:20:48.

fire. Like the ship, many of these veterans went on to give users more

:20:49.:20:51.

service to their country, memories of the Second World War still vivid.

:20:52.:21:04.

Today's event was one of a number which are going to take place over

:21:05.:21:09.

the next few weeks. The anniversary of D`day itself is the 6th of June.

:21:10.:21:14.

There will also be even in Portsmouth and Normandy. But the

:21:15.:21:18.

number of Normandy veterans is ever diminishing and particularly the

:21:19.:21:21.

number who are prepared to travel. Many of them said they weren't going

:21:22.:21:25.

to be able to make it out to France, and that's why they were

:21:26.:21:28.

particularly pleased there was an event here today in the capital.

:21:29.:21:36.

A perfectly preserved baby mammoth which died 42,000 years ago has been

:21:37.:21:40.

unveiled at the Natural History Museum. Found by Siberian deer

:21:41.:21:43.

herders, it's believed to be one of the most significant scientific

:21:44.:21:45.

discoveries ever. Experts say it's absolutely extraordinary and is the

:21:46.:21:48.

first time she's been shown in Western Europe. Warren Nettleford

:21:49.:21:58.

has more. You'd be forgiven for thinking these are the remains of a

:21:59.:22:01.

small elephant, but take a closer look. On top of the perfectly

:22:02.:22:05.

preserved skin you will see a bit of fur, and that's because this is a

:22:06.:22:10.

baby Mammoth. But this baby is quite old, 42,000 years old. It's the age

:22:11.:22:17.

and condition of this discovery that has excited scientists. This can't

:22:18.:22:21.

happen after all this time, it's really thrilling because I've been

:22:22.:22:24.

working on mammoths for most of my scientific career. To encounter a

:22:25.:22:30.

completely preserved individual, it's amazing. There's something

:22:31.:22:33.

about it that really hits you because it puts you in direct

:22:34.:22:38.

contact with that ice age world. The mammoth was discovered by this

:22:39.:22:41.

Russian deer herd and his son, six years ago. They work in a peninsular

:22:42.:22:47.

of Siberia. Undisturbed and covered in mud and I is for thousands of

:22:48.:22:52.

years, the mammoth was almost perfectly preserved. The hunter's

:22:53.:22:56.

prize for his discovery was naming the mammoth after his wife. You can

:22:57.:23:01.

see her tiny little tasks just sticking through, because she was a

:23:02.:23:05.

female mammoth and a baby, the tasks are very small. This is the milk

:23:06.:23:11.

task. She was only a month old when she died. Remnants of her mother's

:23:12.:23:15.

milk are still in her stomach, and scientists are hoping this new

:23:16.:23:19.

discovery will help them to get a better understanding of mammoth's

:23:20.:23:25.

biology and behaviour. You will be able to see it for yourself at the

:23:26.:23:28.

Natural History Museum from this Friday. That is extraordinary. What

:23:29.:23:32.

about the weather? A bit of rain across London this

:23:33.:23:42.

afternoon. We've got a slow breaking down of the warm and sunny weather

:23:43.:23:46.

we had to start this working week. It was cooler today out. As they go

:23:47.:23:52.

through the evening, there is a little hint of brightness in the sky

:23:53.:23:56.

but they have been some threatening, grey clouds as well. We

:23:57.:24:00.

could see one or two showers break`out tonight. At first there

:24:01.:24:05.

could be clearer skies, mist or fog patches developing across the Home

:24:06.:24:08.

Counties. It's towards the early hours that a bit of cloud will creep

:24:09.:24:13.

into the east. That may introduce one or two microlight bits and

:24:14.:24:16.

pieces rain through the early hours and the rush hour. Cool as well

:24:17.:24:19.

tonight, temperatures generally in double figures. We start the day

:24:20.:24:25.

tomorrow with cloud and the threat of bits and pieces of rain first

:24:26.:24:29.

thing. If you are waking up tomorrow and parts of Buckinghamshire and

:24:30.:24:33.

Berkshire, you might see some sunshine. The thickest of the cloud

:24:34.:24:38.

will be towards the Thames Estuary. Prepare for rain almost anywhere

:24:39.:24:42.

tomorrow, although it's only in the afternoon that there will perhaps be

:24:43.:24:45.

some heavy bursts. Temperatures are cooler. As we go through the evening

:24:46.:24:52.

tomorrow and through tomorrow night, that is when the weather

:24:53.:24:56.

front shows up. That looks as if it's going to give us quite a dose

:24:57.:25:00.

of rain. Some quite torrential rain across the Thames Estuary, up across

:25:01.:25:04.

Essex as well. It will be followed on by further bits and pieces from

:25:05.:25:08.

the south. Nowhere is immune on Wednesday night into Thursday to

:25:09.:25:11.

getting some really quite heavy rain. It sets us off on a rather

:25:12.:25:15.

showery tone as we head into the Bank Holiday weekend. For Thursday,

:25:16.:25:20.

there will be some sunny breaks and showers. Some of those will be quite

:25:21.:25:25.

heavy. There will be a breeze behind them. Quite a fine day if a little

:25:26.:25:29.

cloudy on Friday, but we have to prepare for some showers for the

:25:30.:25:30.

Bank Holiday weekend. The main news headlines. The search

:25:31.:25:41.

for four British sailors missing in the Mid`Atlantic since last Friday

:25:42.:25:44.

has resumed. The decision by the US Coastguard came after nearly 200,000

:25:45.:25:46.

people signed an online petition calling for a new search. The trial

:25:47.:25:55.

of Rolf Harris has heard from a fourth woman who claimed that the

:25:56.:25:57.

entertainer indecently assaulted her when she was 15 and on tour with her

:25:58.:26:02.

youth drama group. He denies all the charges. House prices are continuing

:26:03.:26:13.

to outstrip pay rises according to the latest official figures,

:26:14.:26:16.

particularly in the Capital. House prices went up by 8% in the last

:26:17.:26:19.

year nationally, but in London they grew by 17%. That's it, thanks for

:26:20.:26:22.

joining us. I'll be back later during the ten o'clock news. Until

:26:23.:26:26.

then, from me and the team here, have a lovely evening.

:26:27.:26:51.

Some people don't think real change in Europe is possible.

:26:52.:26:56.

Some people don't think real change is necessary.

:26:57.:27:00.

Some people don't think it's worth fighting for.

:27:01.:27:04.

But we want to make Europe work for Britain,

:27:05.:27:06.

and give you the final say with an in-out referendum in 2017.

:27:07.:27:11.

have made Britain's economy stronger and more competitive.

:27:12.:27:16.

a record number of people in work. And we're predicted to be

:27:17.:27:22.

the fastest-growing economy in the G7 this year.

:27:23.:27:26.

We're working through our long-term economic plan at home

:27:27.:27:30.

and we'll work through our plan to deliver real change in Europe too.

:27:31.:27:34.

David Cameron, backed by a strong team of Conservative MEPs,

:27:35.:27:38.

has taken action to stand up for Britain.

:27:39.:27:40.

Vetoing a new EU fiscal treaty that didn't guarantee

:27:41.:27:43.

a level playing field for British businesses.
